Zion was Duke's MOM, Aubrey Dawkins was the sub-regional player of the tournament. Feel elated for Duke, very badly for JD & Son.

Why can't I select Aubrey? We was clearly the MOTM for being the most productive player on the floor and for missing that shot at the end.

Anywho, I voted for Zion.

[kako]

Zion carried this team all game. But with the game on the line, he missed the FT. RJ got the ball and put it in the hole. He gets my vote.

I'm tempted to give co-MOMs not to RJ but to Cam. He was indispensible tonight.

[weezie]

Wow, this is hard. Obvi Z and RJ but look at what Javin did with that Tacko and come on, Tre's defense???!!!!

I just can't vote.

Cam. His stats apart from the fouls were very good and without his 3 at the end we lose.

Agreed his offensive production was really good. However, his fouling and getting burned on the defensive end prevented me from voting for him.

2 of his fouls were total BS though. Especially that one he got called on for cleanly blocking a 3 point shot.

I thought Cam played really well for the most part. Zion still obviously MOTM and Goldwire needs some love too. He was fantastic in his role as usual.

Can’t argue but every shot is huge in a 1-pt win. Zion and RJ’s baskets were huge also. Great finish by the Blue Devils.

[killerleft]

I voted for Zion, but Cam hit the shot to keep us on life-support. Nobody was great. Javin made some plays, Tre also. RJ rebounded and hit the biggie.

Agree. Aside from the charge (okay call on a bad decision), he was terrific. The foul on the block was an awful call. But he did a good job on d and took good shots. Can’t ask for much more.

[MrPoon]

Thought Cam really helped when he could but this game result was all Zion. 32 points, 11 boards, 4 assists
Plus only one willing to attack Fall and get him out of the game. If that doesn’t get you MOTM I don’t know what does.
I still fell the stress of this one in my body. Not healthy.

That shot was the most important play of the game IMO, but yeah I still voted for Zion for overall performance.

And if they call the two Zion drew on Fall earlier in the game, the tone totally changes.

[AZLA]

Props to Javin. He battled hard and his rebound of Zions in and out three on Tacko was key.

Agreed. He should have been fouled out..

[duke4ever19]

Here here for Cam. Dude knows how to drill a timely three.

[JNort]

Cam was efficient and played how we need him to.

RJ with the game winner and clutch rebound.

Zion had a tougher game than normal but was still Zion.

Tre with the excellent defense per usual.

Javin while he didn't stop Tacko sure made him work.



I'll take Cam just barely over RJ because if we get this Cam every game I'm liking our chances at the Natty more and more.

[Wander]

Tre with the excellent defense per usual.


Sure, but his terrible jump shooting is a big part of what led to the game being that close in the first place. We have to figure out a way to adjust if future teams (especially LSU potentially) copy UCF and just don't guard him on the perimeter.

[Neals384]

Props to Javin. He battled hard and his rebound of Zions in and out three on Tacko was key.

Javin is my MOTM. His first half block of Fall, grabbing the ball and then getting fouled, clearly showed Fall he wasn't going to just have his way, and also began the process of limiting Fall's minutes via foul trouble.

Barret attacked Tacko and was fouled three times on the play. None of them were called. That's what made anyone other than Zion attacking Tacko very difficult, and half the time Tacko slaughtered Zion with no foul called.

Oh, I voted for Zion.

[OldPhiKap]

Gold wire is not the MOTM but deserves serious kudos. He makes a difference on the floor.

[Furniture]

I also agree that Javin is playing great lately...

[Phredd3]

Zion, obviously, but I thought Javin deserves special mention for how well he played against one of the 40 tallest living humans on the planet (according to the announcers). Tacko changed everything when he was in there, but Javin made him work and grabbed some crucial boards against him. Tacko knew early on that this one wasn't going to be easy.

But, Zion was Zion.

Agree.zion and everyone else got hammered. Elbows ect.we gotta play through it though.

[Devilwin]

I voted Zion. He had far and away the best game.
